Configuring Spam Quarantine port for incoming email
By default, Spam Quarantine accepts quarantined messages from the Scanner
on port 41025.
To specify a different port
◆
In the Control Center, click Settings > Quarantine and type the new port in
the Spam and suspect virus quarantine port box.
You don’t need to change any Scanner settings to match the change in the Spam
and Virus Quarantine Port box.
To disable the Quarantine port, type 0 in the Spam and suspect virus quarantine
port box. Disabling the spam and suspect virus quarantine port is appropriate if
your computer is not behind a firewall and you’re concerned about security
risks.
Note: If you disable the Spam and suspect virus quarantine port, disable any
spam or virus filtering policies that quarantine messages. Otherwise,
quarantined messages will back up in the delivery MTA queue until the
expiration time elapses and will then be bounced back to the original sender.
